Use Cases

The use case for this requirement is to prevent users who know the D400 operator
and supervisor roles (class) credentials to login into the remote HMI and be able to
execute commands and other controllable actions (force, ACK alarms, etc.), or to
change configurations.
In such approaches, only the Local HMI allows login of all user roles (classes). All remote
HMI users accepted for login will be in the observer role (class).

Some Voice of Customers
Customer Segmentation
Profile
VoC
Solutions
Low End Gateway
Secure Gateway
System Smart Gateway
• Look for integration of SCADA and
security in one device
• Differentiate suppliers; value
partnership.
• Price is not most critical
• Value innovation
• Implemented Integrated
Substation Control System
Architectures.
• Value Advanced Gateway
Features
• Device capacity and reliability are
critical
• Price paramount concern
• Partnerships important but
subordinate to price
• Open to mix a variety of
gateways in their systems
• Use basic RTU features
“I need a NERC compliant
gateway and modern
SCADA features..”
“The Gateway is the brain of
my S/S, I need a the best
gateway in the world with
support for open IEC 61850
architectures…”
“I have simple architectures in
my system, need a box that
does the job for the best
price / deal”
• Will introduce non Operational
data management in the near
future
• Currently use or plans to use
IEC 61850
• Need Secure LAN
Communications
• Robust NERC CIP solution
• Advanced Gateway Features
(secure remote access, Web
HMI)
• Rugged Hardware
• Embedded platform may me a
plus (non Windows)
• Mostly IEC 61850 data
concentration
• Value GE Brand (reliability, here
today, here tomorrow)
• Cyber security not critical but
gaining interest
• IEC 61850 KEMA Certified
Solutions
• Support for PRP
• Support for integration of multi
vendor systems
• System Configuration tools
• We need to get the best deal
• We need to focus on relationships
to get volume discounts
• Need Simple DNP3 or IEC 61850
solutions
• Low end gateway that supports
DNP3, IEC 61850 and few key
legacy protocols
• OPC server
• Other features for the same price
is a plus..
• Competitive pricing
